Bright purple colour, gentle Shiraz aromas, heaps of smooth, rich flavours rearing to go right now, with classy tight tannins, making it a great food wine. SUPERB STUFF

Simply a modern, fresh and fruit-driven wine. A lighter, brighter style of Shiraz designed for drinking young.
Source blocks were selected for spice and lift, representing a fresher and more layered version of ‘Barossa Valley shiraz’. 15% whole bunch used to increase spice and structure, with 100% old oak allowing fruit to take the fore.
"Fermented with 15% whole bunches, and matured in used oak to throw the emphasis on the fruit. The Turkey is in full flight here, with delicious cherry and satsuma plum fruit given context by persistent but rounded tannins (and oak maturation).
95 points"

We're very proud to announce that the 2016 Butchers Block Shiraz scored a GOLD medal in the 2017 Great Australian Wine Challenge!
That brings its tally to 3 Gold medals from 3 shows - including The Barossa Wine Show and The Royal Adelaide Wine Show.
To say we're proud of the achievements of our new kid on the block is an understatement.
